* Description
This layer brings Ranger features to spacemacs from the =ranger= package.
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =ranger= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
To default with preview enabled when entering ranger:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'(ranger :variables
ranger-show-preview t))
#+END_SRC
* Features
- use ranger to display dired with ranger like preview and stacked parent windows.
* Configuration
Most parameters can be toggled on and off and stay within the current emacs
session. Any settings that are desired on startup should be set below.
** Customizing
When disabling the mode you can choose to kill the buffers that were opened
while browsing the directories.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-cleanup-on-disable t)
#+END_SRC
Or you can choose to kill the buffer just after you move to another entry in the
dired buffer.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-cleanup-eagerly t)
#+END_SRC
You can choose to show dotfiles at ranger startup, toggled by =zh=
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-show-dotfiles t)
#+END_SRC
Define custom function used to output header of primary ranger window. Must
return a string that is placed in the header-line.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-header-func 'ranger-header-line)
#+END_SRC
Define custom function used to output header of parent and preview windows. Must
return a string that is placed in the header-line.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-parent-header-func 'ranger-parent-header-line)
#+END_SRC
** Parent options
You can set the number of folders to nest to the left, adjusted by =z-= and =z+=
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-parent-depth 2)
#+END_SRC
You can set the size of the parent windows as a fraction of the frame size
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-width-parents 0.12)
#+END_SRC
When increasing number of nested parent folders, set max width as fraction of
frame size to prevent filling up entire frame with parents.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-max-parent-width 0.12)
#+END_SRC
** Preview options
You can choose to show previews literally, or through find-file, toggled by =zi=
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-show-dotfiles t)
#+END_SRC
You can set the size of the preview windows as a fraction of the frame size
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-width-preview 0.55)
#+END_SRC
You probably don't want to open certain files like videos when using preview. To
ignore certain files when moving over them you can customize the following to
your liking:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-ignored-extensions '("mkv" "iso" "mp4"))
#+END_SRC
To set the max files size (in MB), set the following parameter:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq ranger-max-preview-size 10)
#+END_SRC
